Re: Feminist complaints
Also (ahem) what's wrong with staying home with your kids, if you can afford it? (she types, holding the baby.) I mean, maybe magic enables a high enough quality of living that it's feasable for one parent to stay at home with their kids. (And even if it's not, it seems that a lot of wizard jobs are easily adapted to work-at-home, at least part time. Witness the Quibbler's home-based operation.)
Frankly, with so many wizard children in boarding school, I'd be surprised if more mothers (or other caretaking parents... could be fathers, grandmothers like Neville's, etc...) *didn't* have some sort of outside the home occupation, at least during the school year. There are only so many sweaters Mrs. Weasley can knit without going insane.
